John Bromley (died 10 January 1717) was an English clergyman, Catholic convert, and translator.
He was educated at Shrewsbury School and Magdalene College, Cambridge, according to Venn,[1][2] although his biographer Thompson Cooper, in the Dictionary of National Biography tentatively identified him with a John Bromley who was a student at Christ Church, Oxford who graduated B.A.
[3] At the beginning of James II's reign he was curate of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields, London, but soon afterwards he joined the Roman Catholic Church and obtained employment as a corrector of the press in the king's printing-house.
On being deprived of this means of subsistence, he established a boarding-school in London which was attended by the sons of many persons of rank.
[3] According to Dodd, he published The Catechism for the Curats, composed by the Decree of the Council of Trent, faithfully translated into English (London 1687).
